More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Support the recovery and diffusion of the Kickapoo heritage, a nor-central algokian group of southern Canada and northern U.S. who migrated south over the centuries. For historical reasons, some of them arrived to Bacerac,Sonora, Mexico a hundred years ago. The Sonoran Kickapoo people try to recover those cultural elements that the time and the distance to the mother land are vanishing away. Didactic materials will help them. “We have to remember always” said their cheif, Ramon Barbachan.

Activities

Now we’re sponsoring an artistic stimulation workshop for Kickapoo children. Their drawings will be use for design a lottery and a memory game that will reflect important elements of their culture, people and things of nature and common life.

Latest Update from the Field

Happy summer to our dear global giving friends!

By Maria Inmaculada Puente - Lutisuc Manager, July 02, 2010 10:49 AM

Hello and happy summer to our dear Global Giving friends!

Three months had passed since you hear from us. We had a busy and joyful spring and we like to share with you some information about our project. We participate with other institutions in the organization of a speech contest in native languages for indigenous children around Sonora named “Voces al viento”(voices to the wind). It was beautiful experience hear their messages. The children talked, in their own words, about their home towns, their cultural identity and expressed their concerns about the environment, among other things. We hope that this contest can be useful to preserve and disseminate our native languages and contribute to sensibilize the public about the values of our cultural heritage. We send you pictures of two moments: a group photo of children finalist with teachers, anthropologists and Lutisuc team members and a portrait of a beautiful little girl who came from her community in the Yaqui Valley to remind us about the importance of joint efforts to preserve our heritage. The children are doing their part, let’s do ours.

The summer is here. The tohono kids of the sonoran desert painted a mural last November. The theme is the rain dance. In the same way that the desert waits for the rain in the summer, we are waiting for the donations of our gobal giving friends!

Happy summer for you all!
